Taulima TAUTAI -

[parra pete]

Even if it is just speculation at this stage I would appreciate any info anyone has on young Lett. He did'nt seem to play much footy this year maybe an injury? What sort of syle a player is he?

I first saw Mick Lett play for NSW at Lang Park on SOO 1 in an Under 17 match in 2004. He put Jarryd Hayne in for FOUR tries that night- Greg Inglis was fullback for Qld..I thought to myself ...boy this kid can play.
I spoke with Jim Banaghan a couple of weeks ago, and asked him what had happened to Mick Lett..He told me he was going to the Warriors. I don't know if he (M Lett) is in Jim's stable or not.. but will find out.
Mick is a cousin of Ken and Kev McGuinness, similar build, similar style. Has played first grade (not many) games with the Roosters. He was brought to the Club by Arthur Beetson who has a huge wrap on him. I agree,in my opinion he is one talented player.
He hasn't played much this year ..I don't know why not.. (I do now, see below***)

IWI???

Am i thinking of Hauraki?

Iwi Hauraki or something?

yep..he was looking at going there but I'm not sure what came of it.

 

[Stagger eel]

at one stage Mick Lett was going to the Warriors but they dropped off and signed Michael Crocket instead.

 

[1eyedeel]

Regarding Michael Lett, Arthur Beetson was asked to pick the one young player he thought would be a future star and he picked Lett. I think Artie's about as good a judge of footy talent as there is. Hayne + Inu + Lett = 1 Bloody Bright Future

 

[Utey]

geez you're easy to please :lol:

they all say that :crazy:

 

[cardinal]

Thanks for that detailed description Pete he sounds like a beauty, only problem now is I have really got my hopes up that he signs for the Eels.

McConkie was a Penrith junior whose career spiralled as soon as he joined the Roosters.

He is still only 19-20 I think...so he should still have enough time to recover his career.

With all due respect, he hasn't had a career.. How does your career spiral when you have only played Flegg and Schoolboy football? :roll: He won a Flegg Grand Final at the Roosters and played a Premier League Grand Final.. He played pretty well in his time at the Roosters but never looked ready to make the step up..

 

[Galeforce]

interesting to hear definite news ,suppose this will occur after the grandfinal.I had heard Lett and Tautai were going to Souths.

Hi all

I have been out of the loop for 5 weeks due to a hip operation.

If this has been asked before, I am sorry, but what can you tell me about this guy? Where is he from, what position does he play? Weight etc?

Thanks

are you looking for a media release?? I would say there wouldn't be one forthcoming for second tier signings and when you first raised this thread on Friday I asked someone close to the club about Tautai and they revealed he was signed and looking at extending his contract as well as the others that were mentioned..

I guess we'll know for certain early next year..when trial matches are played.

Hi mate...hope you're feeling better.

which player are you refering too?? Tautai or the new signings??

 

[girvie]

Lett and Wright are both young enough for Flegg next season.

 

[Twizzle]

Taulima TAUTAI just let the firts try in

 

[Y2Eel]

Is he the one that looks similar to Jake webster? The number 2...

 

[hineyrulz]

no he played in the centres no 4,he had the headgear on.

 

[The Eel]

Hi Eela

I was referring to Tautai thanks.

I have never heard of him.

Thanks mate

The eel

 

[Twizzle]

I thought he had a good game, and he's still pretty young

he made a lot of metres

 

[The Eel]

Hi me again

You have all just helped me with my enquiry on Tautai. He was the bloke in number 4 with the head gear, right?

Actually, Marcus P came to visit me in rehab last week and was telling me about the kid. Apparently he was Man of the Match against the Sharks.

The eel.

[BlueNGoldBlood]

He did pretty good i thought, did alot of forward work, made an error or 2 but i think the commentators said hes only 18?
